Mistral IMO:

1. Doesn't have to pay the obscene alignment tax that OpenAI/etc have to (something between 20-50% of from what i understand) nor worry nearly as much about """the brand""" and the baggage which comes with that.

2. Likely will have/has the EU behind them out of pragmatic protectionism realpolitik verus the US (which basically started with GDPR) - though it might end up being a duo with Aleph Alpha.

3. Generally has the widespread support of the hobbyist/opensource community (for whatever aims those may be), both out of ethical/moral consideration and performance/quality reasons

4. Seems already *quite* competitive with GPT3. I rarely find i need to invoke GPT4 and when I have to, I'm annoyed with the latency and milquetoastian nature of the damn thing.

Wish I could purchase stock in these guys honestly
